The Tain will see MacMathúna, bring together outstanding contemporary dance artist, Fearghus Ó Conchúir, with traditional musicians, using Louis LeBrocquy’s works of the same name from The Niland Collection as an inspiration and a backdrop. This unique and exciting reinterpretation of ancient Bardic texts brings a 1st century mythological tale to life for contemporary audiences across the
disciplines of dance, Sean Nós song and traditional music.
